Captain Michael offers guided Galveston fishing charters for Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and Sharks.

He offers guided charters for wade fishing and drift fishing in the inshore Galveston Bays with live bait or artificial lures to catch Speckled Trout and Redfish and loves heading out of the Galveston Bay Complex for some nearshore shark action.

Jetty trips, kid trips, corporate or family oriented fishing trips are also popular with Captain Mike. With over 20 years of experience fishing the entire inshore Galveston Bay Complex, you and your group will have a fun and exciting trip.

The entire Galveston Bay Complex is well known for excellent inshore bay and nearshore fishing all year round. Galveston Bay is the largest estuary on the Texas Gulf Coast and is rightly considered one of the very best fisheries in Texas! Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder and Shark trips are very popular, and Captain Michael's excited to host you on his 2011 25 ft. Majek Extreme powered by a 2011 300hp 4 stroke Yamaha for a dry and safe day on the water. Captain Mike's boat is also loaded with top of the line electronics and all U.S. Coast Guard approved safety equipment.

Captain Michael is always professional and courteous to his guests and he prides himself on giving his best effort on every fishing trip. Catching fish is always goal number one, but he makes sure to build your trip around your personal fishing needs and, most importantly, he makes sure you enjoy your fishing experience. It doesn't matter if you are a young novice fisherman or an experienced saltwater angler, Captain Michael has a personalized trip waiting for you.

If you've been looking to beat the summer heat down in Galveston, TX, then this is the trip for you!

William

Captain Mike got us on fish on a grind of a day. Filled up our cooler and when we got back to the ramp we had the most fish of all the incoming boats.

Justin

Verified Review Fishing

Captain Michael was a complete professional and knew what he was doing. Handled everything that was thrown at him from my inexperience to my tantrum having 5yr old. Helped my son catch his first fish and my son is already wanting to go back despite melting on the boat. Can't wait to go again!

Barbara

Our trip with Michael was all that we'd hoped it would be. He is knowledgeable about where and how to catch fish and was eager to make our experience as memorable as possible. We definitely recommend him and would choose him again!!

Janet

Great trip! Tough conditions but captain put us on fish. Highly recommend and look forward to booking a trip in the future.

Doug

Verified Review Fishing

Captain Mike's the best. I question his taste in music, though--ha ha. Seriously, though, he put us on the fish and got us to our limit right before storm rolled in which was especially impressive considering the two fools he had to coach all morning. Follow Mike's instruction and you will catch fish! We even caught a random 4ft gar. Mike knows that bay like the back of his hand and he will get you on them.

Scott

Verified Review Fishing

Captain Mike was friendly and helpful. I (Stephanie) didn’t know how to cast—or really do anything—and Mike was patient and showed me what to do. My husband, Scott, caught several fish and Mike also let us reel in quite a few that Mike caught. It was a really nice and relaxing trip. We’ll be back!

Had a great time with captain Mike. He put us on the fish despite not having the best weather conditions.

Rose

Verified Review Fishing

Captain Mike was absolutely phenomenal. From the first hour we were on the water, he had us on spots where we were already catching. His personality is friendly, helpful, and unfussy. We caught sheephead, redfish, trout, and too many other species to list. My advice? Book him ASAP!!!!!
